jamesdean Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Here's a suggestion, disable about me pages, signatures and visitor messages on the profile of new members until they make 10 posts. There are many "members" joining to put spamming links in their signatures, about me pages and visitor messages, BW is becoming a haven for spammers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesdean Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Thats a bloody good idea James:thumbup: I know but it obviously cannot be done as I am reporting 5 or more new spammers everyday. They are loving this site now...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I have disabled everything i could until a member has 10 posts, but they have moved to visitor messages which i cannot do anything about. This is happening on the SHOUTcast forum lately too, they seem to be real people and not spam bots. I have very strict Spam Management at the point of registration with captcha and a question relating to maths or broadcasting that they must get right in order to even register a new account. We will just have to suffer until the admin group i am apart of comes up with a new technique!

James Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Guys, i have tried my hardest to make sure there is a moderator covering most timezones to ensure quick spam removal. Just keep in mind that we are human beings, I have two jobs and uni to attend to and unfortunately i dont get much time for BW. Our team consists of volunteers, so i am not demanding their time spent on BW 24/7. If you would like to volunteer, we have quite a few positions available. You will receive about 20-30 emails a day from the forum and members reporting posts, the emails aid us in helping fight spam. You will need to have strong knowledge of vBulletin 4.0 software including MySQL database management and you will require an external communications device to recieve email on the go (e.g: Smartphone, Tablet etc...). On another note, I have been discussing with other forum owners and they have had exactly the same problem with spam, vBulletin are working on new spam management and us forum owners are working on new strategies to combat the spam. A good suggestion from Admin Fusion owner was... "Get members to just ignore the spam, report it if they feel like it. It is not the members jobs to report the spam and it should not get to a situation where the members are getting frustrated for their hard work (E.g: Biggest boards and Broadcast world)" So relax, report it if you wish, we will try our hardest to get to it. Jamesdean, thankyou for your continued effort, it has not gone unnoticed, trust me! -James Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWorld Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It is hard to catch it all. It is great that it is being reported, but I work 2 daytime jobs and Im beat when I get home. If I have a chance to hop on the net during the day (which normally I do), I will come into BW and check things out, often banning and deleting like crazy. ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?
